He also has a long commute and didn't want to put a lot of miles on a new car. However, the old 626 is having problems pop up often now and he didn't really trust it anymore.

Perry, I'll let my Dad know about the soft paint. I'm sure Lance could be swayed to bring all his car goodies over and let my Dad go to town. Who knows, Alexa and I may not see them again for awhile once they are done!

Oh, the other thing about this one I drove was that it already had a scratch dragged through one side of the front bumper. Ouch...

In Japan, the Mazda3 is known as the Axela... I wonder what car is in your future

You're on your own there bud. At least that looks miles better than grafting on a CSVT rear bumper.

Christy, I've heard that the paint on the Mazda3 is very soft and likes to get rock chips.




Unfortunately, this problem isn't confined to just the Mazda3. My Mazda6 has gotten more paint chips in it in 7 months than my Contour has gotten in 7 years. I get one good chip in the hood about every 4 weeks.

I had the Mazda 3 for over 6 months now. I been finding out there are some paint chips on the front bumber, but I went to the dealer and the treat me really well and gave me some touch up paint for free and they wash my car and waxed it.

Other then that the car is a blast, handles really good.

But once in a while I still like to drive around in my old 97 Contour though.

Looks like they're trying to blend Jetta and Civic looks onto the 3.
